Constipation and hemorrhoids

I know this is really gross, but we're all pregnant here! I have had really early constipation this pregnancy, and I developed a hemorrhoid during the last one from all the pushing. It was really painful and I can already feel like it's going to be a worse this time around. I've been drinking water, taking fiber and miralax, but it's just not helping that much. Has anyone else figured out how to deal with this? I thought hemorrhoids were only for old men and commercials!

Are you taking omega 3? If not, I would start ASAP. They are an amazing full body anti inflammatory supplement. I had bad hemorrhoids even before being pregnant and they were the only thing that got rid of them. Never had to take the drugs the dr prescribed which was great! I plan to keep them at bay for the next 6 months! My dr said its fine as long as the oils are from small fish. Not salmon or anything big. I take 6-8 capsules a day, but I've ok'd it with my dr and have been taking that many for a year or so. Hope this helps or at least gives another option! :) GL!
